Moving to Canada

Key Steps for a Successful Move

Successful relocation requires careful planning. Begin your preparations at least three months before your move by:

• Researching Canadian Customs Regulations: Familiarise yourself with import rules and duties to avoid delays.

• Exploring Housing Options: Find accommodation that suits your needs.

• Understanding the Job Market: If you’re looking for employment, get to know local job opportunities.

• Planning for Children’s Education: Research schools and educational options in your new area.

• Obtaining Health Insurance: Ensure you have adequate health coverage.

By addressing these factors, you can make your transition smoother and more enjoyable.

Duties and Taxes When Moving to Canada
Navigating customs regulations is essential for a successful relocation. If you’re moving to Canada on a work visa or returning as a citizen, personal belongings owned for over 12 months are usually exempt from duties. However, certain items may incur taxes or require additional documentation. Staying informed about these regulations can save you time and money during your move. Our team is here to help you understand what to expect, ensuring a smooth customs experience.
